What is not accepted
Anything else is shown as the characters you typed. There is no way to put HTML into a post: a post is parsed into a tree and drawn as text, so it is never part of the page.
Links may point at an ordinary web address or at a page on this site. Anything else keeps its label and loses the link.
Images are not supported yet. They arrive with uploads, so that a picture in a post is hosted here rather than somewhere that can see who read your thread.
